This may look like a rough example of the very common 2 soldiers / 2 standards type, but it is not. By the time this series was minted for...

That's a righteous bust of old Chlorus!
Nice coin Bing! It's always interesting to see A. Pius' portrait facing left on some of the provincials. I think 99% of his coins, imperial and...

BTW, I read AQP in the mintmark.
Nice coin. I don't have a Constans Galley type yet - still looking for the right coin. I have a few coins with similar patinas - basically solid,...
Canada's moving up in the world. They've got their own astronaut now... [ATTACH]
